Trust God

I just wanted to remind you all that God is in control and you need to trust Him through every step of your life.

God might have put something hard in your life, but He knows what He is doing. He will never give you something that you can't get through. He is always with you and will protect you. Don't be bitter against Him because He did something to you, your friends,or family. God does things for a reason. Though at the moment you might not know why He did it or you might never know why, but all you have to do is trust God and He will guide you through the hard times.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy paths.

2 Samuel 22:3
The God of my rock, in Him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my Salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my Saviour; thou savest me from violence.

2 Samuel 33:31
As for God, His way is perfect; the word or the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all that trust in Him.

Hey. This was good, and I really needed it. I'm really glad you did this whole blog thing; it's a real blessing. I gotta get ready for church now. Bye.

Hey, thanks for posting that. It is so comforting that God is always in control and trustworthy! He is always up to something good in my life even when I can't see it.

Hey, are we always supposed to post a comment beginning with "hey"? Just kidding.

Those verses on trusting God are very precious, especially in the tough times. There is a similar message in 1 Peter 1:6-7 about trusting in God's wisdom during the tough stuff of life. Those verses have always been precious to me, even before we just started doing 1 Peter for Scripture Scholarship.

Also, though, I know that I need to continually ask the Lord to help me trust Him more, even when the times are not "tough."
